Description

The Codys are back, and the ties that bind them are about to be stretched to the limit as Animal Kingdom returns for season two. One of cable's Top 5 new dramas this past summer, the series about a Southern California crime family stars winner Ellen Barkin as Smurf, the matriarch of the Cody clan, Scott Speedman as her second in command and Shawn Hatosy as her volatile, mentally unstable eldest son. As the second season opens, the Cody clan is back to their old ways and in the midst of a fun, high-adrenaline heist. But when things don’t go as planned, the family dynamics become more fractured than ever as some members advocate for independence from Smurf. Adding fuel to the fire is an external threat from Smurf's past that has come back to haunt her. The series also stars Ben Robson, Jake Weary, Finn Cole, Molly Gordon and Carolina Guerra.

As the second season opens, the Cody clan is back to their old ways and in the midst of a fun, high-adrenaline heist. But when things don’t go as planned, the family dynamics become more fractured than ever as some members advocate for independence from Smurf. Adding fuel to the fire is an external threat from Smurf's past that has come back to haunt her. Meanwhile, Baz copes with being a single parent and Deran makes plans for the future.

Smurf takes J to the desert for an old friend’s wake. Meanwhile, Baz visits Lucy (new series star CAROLINA GUERRA) in Mexico, and Pope bonds with Amy (guest star JENNIFER LANDON) from the MegaChurch, while babysitting Lena (guest star AAMYA DEVA KEROLES). And Deran considers what he’ll risk to get a liquor license for the bar.

Baz puts his plan to take down Smurf in motion as Marco (guest star JOSEPH JULIAN SORIA) cashes in a favor with Craig and Deran. Meanwhile, Pope seeks the truth behind the reasons for Catherine’s death.

I was skeptical that Season 2 would be able to keep up to Season 1. The first season could have stood alone and the show cancelled, with no real cliffhangers and that would heve been that. However trying to continue an awesome first season isn't that easy. I finally was satisfied by the end of the 4th episode, that they are doing the first season justice. The character development is far more difficult with this bunch than any other show I have gotten into. For example the greatest TV show ever, Breaking Bad" (according to Guiness) had pigeon holed characters, the cop, the drug dealers, the teacher. All of them have been protrayed in shows and firms for decades. The surfing crowd hasn't made the scene since Point Break and before that I think was Beach Blanket Bingo! Bravo to the writers and actors and may this show ride the waves forever.
